Harvest

"Look how much has happened
In such a short time"
She says to him
One husband, one wife
Two kids, carpools and saturday rides
She says, "so why am I unhappy with my life?"

You race toward something
You don't know what you'll find
But you'll notice it
When you see it, you say
There must be more out there
Waiting silently
You know your place
But you hate it just the same
So leave before the harvest

She knows that everything seems all right
But surfaces can hide what's inside
He says,"I love you but I'm reflecting less light
Than when I was a child of the night"

You race toward something
You don't know what you'll find
But you'll notice it
When you see it, you say
There must be more out there
Waiting silently
You know your place
But you hate it just the same
So leave before the harvest
Say goodbye to your life

Complacency has wrapped you
Inside her sheet
You wish for something to come
And save you
But no one comes
You must take care of yourself
We all learn that
We all learn that
